Chapter 630: The Battle of Hexi's Belonging (5)

On the battlefield, the drums shook the sky.

On the vast plains, the armies of both sides were strangled together, arrows rained down, and the attacking Uighur cavalry fell one by one, but the cavalry behind continued to charge.

When the Uighur cavalry reached the phalanx of the Tang army's infantry, the Mo sword soldiers brandished heavy sharpening knives and slashed at the horse's legs. The Uighur cavalry in the rear continued to charge and, having paid a heavy price, rushed into the infantry camp of the Don army.

In front of the Tang infantry, tall and mighty soldiers wearing thick infantry armor held spears to resist the charge of the Uighur cavalry.

The bows and arrows in the back continued to shoot out, constantly harvesting the Uighur cavalry.

Soon, 18,000 cavalry on both sides of the Tang army quietly dispatched to the flanks of the Uighur cavalry. It wasn't long before the Uighur and Tang flags staggered with each other, and the fighting intensified.

The fighting on the battlefield also attracted the attention of the commanders on both sides.

In terms of horsemanship, the Uighurs were more skilled; However, the Tang army had excellent armor, a combination of infantry and cavalry, and was assisted by new weapons.

For a while, the two sides were inseparable, and it was impossible to distinguish the winner in a short time.

But it is certain that the losses on both sides are not small.

The commanders of both sides watched the battle on the battlefield, and at the beginning Yao Luo Ge Renmei was quite confident, but as the melee came together, the infantry phalanx of the Tang army began to exert strength.

In particular, the Namo sword soldiers and pikemen became targets for the Tang infantry after the speed of the Uighur cavalry stopped.

The Uighur cavalry, whose horses had their legs cut off, and the Uighur cavalry, who had just stood up, were cut down with their spears and swords.

On the battlefield, the infantry phalanx of the Tang army withstood the first round of attacks by the Uighur army, and with the cooperation of the cavalry, began a counteroffensive.

As the melee began, the 40,000 Uighur cavalry, which was complicated, also became chaotic and fought separately for a while, which made Ma Heimu and the others angry, but helpless.

Yao Luo Ge Renmei, who was watching the battle in the rear, also realized this, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, if this continues, these 40,000 cavalry are very likely to be defeated.

Moreover, the food and grass are almost gone, and if they drag on, I am afraid that they will be forced to retreat before the Tang army attacks.

If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, this is the favorite sentence of the Tang people, and at this time, it has also become the self-confidence of Yao Luo Ge Renmei's determination.

"Heavy cavalry attack!"

At this time, Luo Ge Renmei hesitated.

With his order, the 3,000 heavy cavalry clamped the horse's belly and began to charge, and the remaining 20,000 cavalry around him were all killed.

The real decisive battle began.

"Toto!" Ryuji said in a deep voice.

"Order the artillery, and first defeat the heavy cavalry of the Uighurs!" Liu Kui commanded.

After the rest of the Uighur cavalry had been dispatched, the artillery in the rear turned its guns and aimed at the Uighur heavy cavalry of 3,000.

In fact, regardless of the other cavalry, Liu Kui cares most about these 3,000 heavy cavalry.

He had only 2,000 heavy cavalry at his disposal, and although he was better equipped than the Uighurs, the difference in numbers was obvious.

In this case, the Uighur heavy cavalry could only be broken by defeating the heavy cavalry of the Uighurs.

Therefore, at the beginning, Liu Kui did not use artillery, just to prepare it for the Uighur heavy cavalry.

Heavy cavalry is slower than light cavalry.

The thick armor gave both cavalry and horses an extra layer of protection, but it also limited the mobility of heavy cavalry. Therefore, it is okay for heavy cavalry to charge on such flat terrain, and light cavalry has more advantages in that kind of battle on the grassland.

Under the thick armor, the three thousand Uighur heavy cavalry had white gas in their mouths, their eyes were cold, and the weapons in their hands pointed at the Tang army.

"Artillery ready!"

"Ready, launch!"

The twenty-four magic cannons were arranged in two rows, and after an order, the 12 divine cannons in the first row flew out after the fuse burned out.

Looking at this black thing, the Uighur heavy cavalry who rushed to the front were also a little puzzled.

They knew that the Don army had a strange weapon, but it was in a siege battle, and they did not participate, so they did not know.

While they were confused, twelve buckshot bullets flew into the ranks of the Uighur heavy cavalry.

"Poof!"

There was a loud crash, and one of the Uighur heavy cavalrymen hit by the buckshot fell heavily from his horse.

Although it has thick armor, the armor on its head is directly smashed and dented, and red and white things fill the entire armor.

The Uighur soldiers next to him didn't know what was going on, and there were fewer and fewer comrades around.

After a while, twelve iron bullets fell in one after another.

Although the power of the Shenji cannon is not as powerful as that of the Shence general, the impact of each cannonball is not something that the Uighur heavy cavalry can stop.

If a lead bullet goes down, at least one heavy cavalry will fall, and if you are lucky, several people in front and behind will have to be affected.

Yao Luo Ge Renmei, who was watching the battle from behind, didn't know what was going on, he only knew that after a loud bang, the heavy cavalry he relied on the most kept falling off his horse before he could engage the Tang army, and the entire formation was also chaotic.

"Kill!"

Seeing the confusion of the Uighur heavy cavalry formation, Liu Kui raised his horse lance and pointed at the Uighur cavalry and shouted.

"Drive!"

Jiang Xiong, who had endured for a long time, was the first to kill, followed by 2,000 Tang heavy cavalry, like a sharp arrow shot directly into the Uighur camp.

As soon as the heavy cavalry of the two armies clashed, the Uighur heavy cavalry fell to the upper hand, and the Uighur heavy cavalry, which was in a chaotic formation, could not stop the Tang heavy cavalry, but was instead split by the Tang heavy cavalry from the middle.

The Uighur heavy cavalry, which had lost the ability to charge into battle, suffered a great loss in combat effectiveness, and the cavalry was constantly stabbed under the horses of the Tang army.

After half an hour, the Uighur heavy cavalry finally could not hold on, and was killed by the Tang army from the middle. The heavy cavalry led by Jiang Xiong continued to rush left and right in the camp of the Uighur light cavalry, and no one could stop them wherever they passed.

Soon, the last 23,000 or so Uighur cavalry began to disarray, and as the first Uighur turned around and fled, more and more Uighur cavalry began to retreat.

Although these Uighur cavalry were the elite of the Uighurs, Liu Kui's side was not the elite of the forbidden army.

Seeing that the cavalry under his command was killed by the Tang army and began to scatter and flee, Yao Luo Ge Renmei began to be anxious, and couldn't help shouting in the rear, but there was no way to stop those fleeing cavalry.

"Ahh

Yao Luo Ge Renmei suddenly roared, her expression angry and depressed.

At this time, Ryuji had already killed the Uighur camp with 3,000 cavalry, and was killing towards the location of Yao Luo Ge Renmei and others.

"Great Khan, quickly retreat, the Tang army is coming!"

"Great Khan, retreat, we have been defeated!"

No one expected that the 20,000 elites on which the Khanate relied the most would be defeated like this, and the defeat was somewhat sudden.

Seeing that thousands of Tang troops were coming, the nobles around Yao Luo Ge Renmei began to get anxious.
